Strange MouseClick behavior Topic is solved

[Oblomov228]

In

Code: Select all

f4::
MouseClick, left, 1265, 758

I'm trying to assign a click to F4

as explained in:
https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/commands/MouseClick.htm

However, the mouse clicks way off and not consistently either. Where it basically moves to the right every next click...

I used a program called FastKeys to record the needed area, however, it's kind of strange that upon execution, the mouse clicks in different directions, rather than just one

See CoordMode, Broken Link for safety Mouse, Screen

Thanks for the reply!

I tried

f4::
CoordMode "Mouse", "Screen"
MouseClick, left, 1265, 758

However, it didn't quite seem to help

[HotKeyIt]

Code: Select all

CoordMode, Mouse, Screen
f4::
  MouseClick, left, 1265, 758
Return

Code: Select all

CoordMode, Mouse, Screen
f4::
  MouseClick, left, 1265, 758
Return

Thanks for the follow-up! However, the behavior still appears to be the same (did reload the script). Kind of really amazing that performing a mere click, is so darn difficult through AutoHotkey

Like in every programming language, you need to use the right syntax.

The CoordMode, Mouse, Screen needs to be reachable, that means at the top of the script, in the auto-execute section.
That means, if you have, for example, other hotkeys above that line, it won't work. Put it at the top...

Works fine for me, it always clicks at the coordinates.
Make also sure the old script was closed.

Edit: thanks @gregster , did not think about that.

Oh nice! This solved it! Thanks a lot
